i am sorry for the previous comment. that wasn't from me. please do not click on the link or do anything with the link. i will put up a real comment about randy in time but having a hard time finding the right words to do so.

hey all....
so the funeral is in Holt, Michigan
on Saturday, December 15th
no specifics on the time, but me & a few others are going to get into Lansing tomorrow...
i will locate internets and let you all know what funeral home and time everything is going down. all i know is that it's on Saturday at some point.
so a weekend in Michigan is on the itinerary.
Must bring back special Monki icicles for the kiddies...

All of you one here meant A LOT to him....

And for Randy....this Japanese saying comes to mind:

Bonbu mo satoréba hotoké nari.
"Even a common man by obtaining knowledge becomes a Buddha"

Yours Truly,
Chris Lapine,
Cult of the Monki

1Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;

He leadeth me beside still waters.

3He restoreth my soul:

He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil; for thou art with me;

Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

Thou hast anointed my head with oil;

My cup runneth over.

6Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life;

And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever.

We love you man
the dances, the songs, the stories, the comics... there are no words... Brandy and I have never met anyone else like you nor will we ever. I always wished we could have done more for you when it all started to go to hell ...but I know so much had to be done on your own.
You had a vision and perspective of the world that was so unique and so driven- so hopeful and so sarcastic...in retrospect you ended up that fighter for the weak that the stories you told were about- you just needed that sword and the pictures perfect...
This is rambling and jumbled but I've finally stopped crying long enough to type something and I have to type something... It had been so long since we'd been able to get together like the old days...I never imagined the opportunity would disappear for the rest of my life today.
You'll always make us laugh. Always. Brandy, Pootie, and I miss you.
I hope these thoughts reach you in some form. They're just words on this page but they're all I've got.
There will never be another like you- the world was better for having you and is worse off by your departure as are the rest us.
goodbye
Dustin
